So this awesome new beta project has been launched and is LIVE!!
What it does
In a nutshell, you allow @Steemads to insert a banner at the bottom of your 7-day ( or older ) blog / vlog / story etc post.
Yea so?
So you get exposure from posts that are older than 7-days. Allowing yourself to be marketed to the internet! Allowing you to still generate revenue from your older posts!
Whose behind this?
The two geniuses @fyrstikken & @inertia are behind this.
What is the catch?
No catch. @SteemAds will share revenues 50/50 between @SteemAds and the participants.
Awesome! Where do I signup?

People are concerned about giving out their private posting keys
Totally understandable. This is just so the banner can be placed on your post. The creators are looking at creating some kind of whitelist regarding the keys.
Yea ok but can I choose which advert appears on my post?
This is still under discussion.
Where do I go if I want to know more or have questions?
Hop into our Discord channel ( teemspeak.com ). We're all there to help you!
So what are you waiting for? I was the very first Steemian to signup!
Resteem this so EVERYONE can get it on this!
Stop reading and go sign up & reap the benefits !!

Does anybody think that they are asking a lot, like email and private key. I don't know if they can do anything with that, but its a risk I'm not willing to take at the moment. Sign up should be easier IMHO.
Noted.
I assume they are only asking for the private posting key? This would still mean your Steem/Steempower/SBD would be safe in the event that it somehow became public wouldn't it? It isn't possible to change the account password or transfer funds without the master key is it?
Correct.
I can understand you concerns but if someone has your private posting key all they can do is post, not transfer money or anything. I guess the worst case scenario is they could make some crazy posts on your blog but you could immediately regenerate new keys and lock them out. Posting key is a pretty small risk.
Correct Sir.
How are ads inserted after 7 days when posts are no longer able to be edited after that time?
Excellent question.
Will get clarity on this and keep you updated!
how to get unregister from this site?
For already registered members:
To quit the Guild, simply send 0.001 STEEM to @frontrunner with quit in the memo. To join the guild again, simply send 0.001 STEEM with start in the memo.
You're being practical again.
good question - thanks for asking @ats-david
wanna know the same...
For already registered members:
To quit the Guild, simply send 0.001 STEEM to @frontrunner with quit in the memo. To join the guild again, simply send 0.001 STEEM with start in the memo.
The concept is interesting. However some questions - usually am careful to handout my private keys to any new thing until I know more.
A question the great @cobalus was coming up - can we decide what ads are displayed on which posts? What ads will it be, which companies advertise, where do you get the ads from actually?
I have asked these questions to the creators. Awaiting feedback.
Alternatively, hop into our Discord my friend. @fyrstikken is always there to answer any questions you might have!
As soon as I have clarity on what you've asked I'll reply here. ( Excellent questions by the way ).
Please post an invite link so I can join and learn more about this service. I am very interested in starting this.
Link in article.
I asked him on discord - no feedback yet
No problem.
Keep on asking, I'm sure they'll help you with answers. If they don't, drop me a PM.
How do you send private messages on Steemit?
I guess my biggest question is.. if we can't edit our post after 7 days.. how can the ads get added?
Hello,
I mentioned it in another reply to another gentleman, I'm going to find out and get back to you guys ASAP!
That's what I came to ask too.
I'm guessing it's automated, and the banner is added just before the edit window closes.
If so, that means there's no scope to remove an add you hate. It's there forever.
yeah the people placing the ads need to be pretty sure of what is going to be displayed going forward. Going to be interesting to see how it shakes out.
Super initiative. Way to incentivise people to write content that can stand on its own, and to share it in external channels also after the 7 days have passed.
Signing up.
Awesome my man! Awesome!
This is the best Steemit initiative if it works fine. Since I promote my post outside steemit for more exposure, this will pay for the extra work. Please write more about it and let's know more, like how we are paid (cost per view, cost per click, cost per placement or cost per action). It is necessary we know. Thanks
Absolutely.
I'll get more details and will post soon!
I am definitely interested in this, but I am also definitely not handing over my password to anyone
Interesting concept but I don't know about handing out my Key, that is my main concern.
& that is a very valid concern.
I'll ask them about this to make everyone more at ease.
Valid concern.
I have no issue with anyone taking up with this offer. But personally, for me, one of the great attractions of steemit is the lack of annoying, and usually irrelevant, adverts popping up everywhere.
I do think post rewards should have more of a "long tail" - but not by adverts. Maybe by some mechanism of spreading post reward payments out over a much longer period (maybe 6 months) to encourage the creation of less ephemeral content.
Good point Sir.
Now this is interesting...
That's an amazing idea indeed! Already signed up! Great to see our older posts get some recognition!
Cheers
@progressivechef
Awesome!

Hmm, looks like a very good and profitable idea. I am not sure whether to sign up however as it requires a private posting key. Would the system not work better by allowing people to place their own link (similar to systems such as Google AdSense) to place the advert? That's just my two cents anyways
Very good question.
I shall enquire and revert soonest.
Hop into our Discord & come hit the two masterminds with some Q & A ! :)
( Link to Discord in post )
This is a no brainer....Signing up and Resteeming.
Awesome, & thank you for your support!
I'm brand new to Steemit, so excuse the newbie question...this implies that Steemit articles older than 1 week no longer get any exposure??
I realize that newer posts get the most views, but still, if a post was exceptionally written/ well received, I assumed it would have lasting power just like any other blog post or online article (like those posted on medium.com). Is that not true?
It is sometimes true that old posts come up in searches, and via links, but you don't get paid after the 6th day for votes so they tend to die out. Some estimate post life here in minutes even, not in days, because of the sheer amount of content pushing them rapidly down the feed. If it's not seen and resteemed a lot in the first few moments, your post is as good as dead Captain. So this is a way for a handful of viewers who either come to your blog and read back deep into it or random searches that turn it up, to add some value to it via continued monetization. I just read this post and know nothing much about the poster or the advertising idea, but I do know what I just said about posts is true.
ah ok, good to know thanks!
Happy to help!
Thank you for the helpful comment Sir.
My Pleasure
It can't make any money after the 7 day payout window is closed, so people can still find your post but it doesn't get the same amount of exposure as new posts which are offering curation rewards for voting early.
ditto above :)
This is very koool and super interesting BUT I don't, like many others have said, like the idea of releasing my private key? The thought of that turns me off. I'd also like to be able to choose what ads are on my posts. I wouldn't in a million years advertise for big pharma, banks or anything remotely related to any of that bullshit.
Just signed up. Not too concerned about submitting my private posting key but how do I opt out should I want to do so? Perhaps I will jump onto the Discord channel and ask.
Yea hop into our Discord and ask! :-)
Making posts life longer than 7 days is the most necessary progression Steemit has to make. I am not a big fan of ads, tho. Could you give me an idea on how such a banner would look like?
Hello,
I believe they are still working on a mockup.
I'll update everyone when I know more. It's still in early beta.
aight, followed you to get the update ;)
Thank you !
This post has received a 4.49 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @banjo, @fyrstikken.
Upvoted and RESTEEMED :)
Thank you!!
Interesting concept. My main question is will the ads be appropriate to the posts content? I can understand that eventually ads will come to Steemit but it is nice that this is an opt in initiative. I will check the Discord channel and see how it pans out.
Yes hop into our Discord when you can! :)
This is a nice idea and I signed up no questions asked, because as someone pointed out with the private posting key no one can steal anything so it's 100% safe, the only thing they could do is post content on your behalf.
Correct.
is there any way to get unregister from this site?
I have presented this question to the creators. Will keep you updated once I receive a definite answer.
Hope so the answer has been received @iamnotageek?
For already registered members:
To quit the Guild, simply send 0.001 STEEM to @frontrunner with quit in the memo. To join the guild again, simply send 0.001 STEEM with start in the memo.
Resteemed. This is a HUGE step in the right direction.
All credit goes to @fyrstikken & @inertia
Thank you for the Resteem !
I am definitely interested in getting more information. Like the questions other people asked. In the past I have commented on wanting to have longer term return on my posts. This could be great if it gets put together right.
Give this a go, Youtube Ads have paid off in the past.
Indeed
Why require a posting key? Couldn't all posts just have a hidden div that could become visible for those that opt-in?
Good question.
I'll add it to the list Sir.
Has anybody heard anything new about this?
Hello,
I have spoken to one of the creators & mentioned all the questions that were asked in here.
They are aware of the concerns and are working on solutions as we speak.
I will post an update the minute I have concrete answers.
Thank you for replying. I will await your answer.

i vote and follow you, @rameshkumar
Thank you Sir
It's a bit late for me to get into this right now, but I will absolutely be leaving this tab open for when I have a chance to get into this type of thing after work tomorrow, very interested in this.
Never to late. You can still sign up.
